O. dioica SL RNA genes. (A) Alignment of 5′ ends of cDNAs for the O. dioica cyclin D3-like homologue (Cyc), MBF, delta-tubulin (Dtu), dynein light chain (Dyn), RBP, and RPL31 (RPL). The common 40-nt leader sequence is capitalized and highlighted in grey, and the deduced methionine initiation codon is boldfaced. The deduced initiation codon for the cyclin cDNA is further downstream. (B) Alignment of SL RNA genomic loci. The 4 most divergent sequences out of 19 independent loci are shown. The 5′ region highlighted in grey is the 5S rRNA coding sequence. Dark and light grey backgrounds in the 3′ region indicate SL RNA exon and intron sequences, respectively. Asterisks indicate conserved nucleotides. (C) Schematic representation of the 5S rRNA-SL RNA locus assembled from contigs in the genomic shotgun database. (D) 5S rRNA-SL RNA head-to-tail repeats in a BAC sequence. Elements are represented as in panel C. The U6 snRNA gene is upstream of one of the 5S rRNA genes.
